Chapter 240: Deep Guilt

Yuan Feng's face showed a look of remembrance.

"In order to welcome the return of the patriarch, and for our clan to return to their homeland, the elder selected three outstanding disciples of the clan to wade into the red dust to look for them; I was the youngest of the three disciples, and I was only in my early teens when I left the clan, just like a child. ”

"When I first came to Dawei, I didn't know anything, I had the great task of finding the patriarch, and I had to be careful to hide my identity, that time is still fresh in my memory even now when I think about it. When I was younger, I had a rather perverse and stubborn personality, and I always had some bold ideas coming to me. Although I listened to the patriarch's advice to carefully hide my identity, it was rare to be able to step into the red dust, and I was full of curiosity about everything around me, and the most curious was the home where the Great Wei Tianzi lived - the Imperial Palace. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Feng's face actually showed a transparent smile like a child, presumably that time was the purest and most innocent time he had ever had over the years.

"So, I came all the way to the capital with a cloth bag on my back, and I also infiltrated the palace by means, on the surface I wore the clothes of a small eunuch as an inconspicuous little eunuch, but in fact, I took advantage of the fact that others did not pay attention, and I also slipped into the imperial dining room to eat delicious delicacies, hid in the imperial garden to enjoy the national peony, and also saw a lot of golden and precious ladies in the harem. Just when I was about to play in the palace, I met Concubine Yang. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Feng obviously felt that Zhao Ling's breathing had become heavier, and it seemed that he really attached great importance to Concubine Yang's affairs; Also, Concubine Yang is his biological mother, how can she not be curious about her mother's life as a son? What's more, Concubine Yang's death is really ......

Yuan Feng's tone gradually began to become heavy when he was quite relaxed, "The first time I met Concubine Yang, I was attracted to her; It's not her outstanding appearance, but that she has an aura that is quite similar to our Tianding clan. It was this aura that blinded me into believing that she was the one I was looking for; At that time, I was glad that I was crooked, and I was able to find the young master by playing. ”

So I tried my best to get close to her, and slowly got into her eyes, and became a confidant she believed; At that time, Concubine Yang had just entered the palace, and even though she was deeply favored by the emperor, she was always excluded and bullied by other concubines in the harem because of her simple personality, and even a few times someone jumped out to make her stumble; I was always by her side and helped her solve problems. But soon after, I found out that I was mistaken, and the breath on her body was not the breath of the Heavenly Destiny at all; I was angry and felt cheated. ”

"Because, when I mistakenly thought that she was the young master, I told her all the things about the Tianding clan, in other words, she now holds all the secrets about the Tianding clan, and if she says it, the peace that our clan has finally ushered in will be broken again; I complained that she was obviously not the young master of my clan, but she didn't say anything, and tricked me into continuing to protect her by her side. I couldn't stand this kind of blatant deception, and at that time, I even had the idea of killing her; However, after all, after months of getting along, I have only cultivated a trace of affection with her; I can see that Concubine Yang is a very kind person, she is helpless in the harem, and although the Son of Heaven dotes on her, he doesn't spend much energy on her; By her side, the only person she relied on to believe in was me, except for Emperor Showa; That's why she hid it from me and lied to me, so that I could be with her. ”

"But it's one thing to understand, it's another to accept; I can spare her life with this little affection between me and her, but I can't stay with her for long, because I have all the expectations of my people on my shoulders; Just as I was about to leave, Concubine Yang was diagnosed as pregnant by the imperial doctor, and then, her body deteriorated, and she almost needed to rest in bed every day to keep the fetus in her womb; I came to say goodbye to her, and she cried and said to me that she wished I could stay with him a few more days, and that it would be okay to wait for the person she was waiting for to come; At that time, I learned that she had written a distress letter to Xiban and invited the eldest prince of Xiban to come to help. ”

I relented for a moment, so I agreed, and when the person she was waiting for came, I left the palace and left her completely. However, what I don't know is that there is a traitor around Concubine Yang, and the personal palace maid she believes in the most is actually the eyeliner that Jiang placed next to her; The big palace maid didn't know how to find out my true details from Concubine Yang's mouth, and the identity of my Tianding clan spread to the mouth of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family colluded with people with ill intentions to get more news about me from Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang knew what the Tianding clan represented, and she also knew how much turmoil she would cause if she told her the secrets, and it was also to protect me, in order to prevent the tragedy of a hundred years ago from happening again, that stupid woman actually secretly poured out the decoction used to nourish her body every day after giving birth to the prince peacefully, slowly consuming her own life, and finally, pushing herself to death with her own hands. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Chu Xingyue was shocked.

She never expected that Concubine Yang's death would be related to the Tianding family.

Although the Jiang family deserves to die, Concubine Yang chose the death of her life in order to protect the news of the Tianding clan; This news, not to mention that Zhao Ling was difficult to accept for a while, even Chu Xingyue was unbearable.

Wuchen sighed, looked at Yuan Feng, and said, "You're right, she's indeed a fool; After you left, she was tormented by her conscience day and night, and said to me more than once that she owed you something; Knowing that she is not the young master you are looking for, and knowing that your time is extremely precious, she still drags you to stay by her side, and even does not hesitate to use lies to deceive you; She has a brotherly attachment to you, and she is deeply sorry. She really wanted to do something for you to make up for it, but she didn't expect that in the end, she would make up for you with her own life. ”

This is the first time Yuan Feng has heard such words, to be honest, his initial acquaintance with Concubine Yang is only at the level of familiarity; In the end, after knowing why she died, the familiar feelings gradually sublimated and turned into regret and apology.

Therefore, after Concubine Yang's death, he did not hesitate to make a big fuss in the palace at the cost of exposing his identity, killing all the people who had bullied her and hurt her; Of course, Jiang was lucky enough to survive.

Zhao Ling finally understood, it turned out that his biological mother actually died in this situation, and the Jiang family, as well as the person who colluded with the Jiang family, he would not let it go.

"Then do you know who is the person who wants to know the news of the Tianding clan from this princess?"

Chu Xingyue thought of someone and said, "Could it be Zhuo Lang?" He is the most frustrated guy I know, and he is looking around for the whereabouts of the Tianding clan, and the Jiang family knows him by chance, not necessarily. ”

Wuchen looked at Chu Xingyue, who immediately revealed the real murderer, and said, "It's him." ”

'Bang'!

Zhao Ling slammed his fist on the edge of the bed, and his already ugly face was even more murderous at the moment: "I really didn't expect it to be him?" ”

Chu Xingyue took Zhao Ling's hand, not wanting him to hurt himself because of anger, he looked up at Wuchen again, and asked, "How did he know the Jiang family, do you know?" ”

Wuchen said: "Zhuo Lang has always had a deep obsession with the Tianding family, and he has never given up looking for clues to this family over the years; When I met him, he saw that I had a bit of wisdom, so he accepted me as a disciple, and then taught me some simple formations and medical skills about the Tianding clan; In fact, I know very well why he took the initiative to find me, because I was the eldest prince of Xiban at that time, and I will become the king of Xiban in the future. If he wants to inquire about the Tianding clan, he must know some people with special status; Accepting me as a disciple, he just wanted to make it more convenient to walk in Xiban in the future, in the final analysis, he did all this for himself. ”

"It's just that I didn't see his true face clearly at that time, and I was quite close to him; I received a letter from Rui'er and went to Dawei, and soon after, Zhuo Lang also came to Dawei to look for me, and in this way, he created an opportunity to get close to the palace, get to know the Jiang family, and know the secret that Rui'er wanted to hide; After all, this devil was attracted by me, if it weren't for me, Yi Rui'er's physical condition would have lasted for several years, she would have been able to watch her child grow up, and she would not have lost his biological mother at a young age. ”

Chu Xingyue didn't expect that there were such variables mixed in here.

Yes, who would have thought that things would develop step by step like this, everyone appeared in the hope of protecting the woman with a bumpy fate, but they didn't expect to harm her in disguise.

Chu Xingyue knew that the most uncomfortable person at the moment was Zhao Ling; Looking at Wuchen and Yuan Feng, who were all showing guilt, Chu Xingyue glanced at them and motioned for them to go down.

Then, holding Zhao Ling's face with both hands, looking at his faintly reddened eyes, his heart was also extremely distressed.

"Zhao Ling, I know I can't hide it from you, in fact, I am a member of the Tianding clan, and I am also the young master that Yuan Feng said he was looking for; In the final analysis, this matter has something to do with me; If it weren't for me, if it weren't for protecting us, Concubine Yang wouldn't have ended her life in such a way. ”

Hearing Chu Xingyue say this, Zhao Ling seemed to come back to his senses from his thoughts.

His eyes were gloomy and painful looking at Chu Xingyue, although he didn't say a word, Chu Xingyue knew that he already knew everything; It seems that during the time she left, too many things really happened, and these things let Zhao Ling know her true identity.

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue was a little more relaxed, she didn't know how to explain her identity to him all along; After all, the four words of the Tianding clan are too heavy for ordinary people to shoulder.

Chu Xingyue took a deep breath and continued: "I also knew my true identity not long ago, and I also knew the past and what happened to the Tianding clan from Yuan Feng's mouth; Zhao Ling, I won't force you, if you find it unacceptable, I can leave. ”
